[Libvirt-announce] LSN-2015-0004: CVE-2015-5313: ACL bypass using ../ to access beyond storage pool
by Eric Blake 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Libvirt Security Notice: LSN-2015-0004 ====================================== Summary: ACL bypass using ../ to access beyond storage pool Reported on: 20151030 Published on: 20151211 Fixed on: 20151211 Reported by: Ossi Herrala <vulncoord(a)ficora.fi> Joonas Kuorilehto <vulncoord(a)ficora.fi> Patched by: Eric Blake <eblake(a)redhat.com> See also: CVE-2015-5313, FICORA bug #876194 Description ----------- Various virStorageVol* API operate on user-supplied volume names by concatenating the volume name to the pool location. Note that the virStoragePoolListVolumes API, when used on a storage pool backed by a directory in a file system, will only list volumes immediately in that directory (there is no traversal into subdirectories). However, other APIs such as virStorageVolCreateXML were not checking if a potential volume name represented one of the volumes that could be returned by virStoragePoolListVolumes; because they were not rejecting the use of '/' in a volume name. Impact ------ Because no checking was done on volume names, a user could supply a potential volume name of something like '../../../etc/passwd' to attempt to access a file not belonging to the storage pool. When fine-grained Access Control Lists (ACL) are in effect, a user with storage_vol:create ACL permission but lacking domain:write permssion could thus abuse virStorageVolCreateXML and similar APIs to gain access to files not normally permitted to that user. Fortunately, it appears that the only APIs that could leak information or corrupt files require read-write connection to libvirtd; and when ACLs are not in use (the default without any further configuration), a user with read-write access can already be considered to have full access to the machine, and without an escalation of privilege there is no security problem. Workaround ---------- If fine-grained ACLs must be used, administrators must consider all of the storage_vol:* permissions as equivalent to domain:write when running an impacted version of libvirt. The easiest way to prevent untrusted users from gaining unauthorized access to volumes outside of permitted pools is by disabling the use of fine-graned ACLs, and ensuring that such users do not have read-write access to libvirtd.

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib version 0.2.3 released
by Daniel P. Berrange 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.2.3, is now available from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) Changes in this release: - Require libvirt >= 1.1.1 - Require glib2 >= 2.36.0 - Require gobject-introspection >= 1.36.0 - Fix memory leak setting ram usage - Fix memory leaks in test suite - Document intended deployment targets - Fix misc docs - Add wrapper for virDOmainSetTime - Port more code to use GTask instead of GSimpleAsyncResult - Drop unused finalize functions - Drop unused variables - Drop overly verbose debug calls for object lifecycle libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries: - libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling - libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects - libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable forever, with libvirt-glib we are not currently guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are permanently API/ABI stable. That said we do not expect to break the API/ABI for the forseeable future and will always strive avoid it. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list(a)redhat.com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-1.3.0
by Daniel Veillard 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

So as planned, I tagged the release in git and pushed signed tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt I also pushed the associated python release for 1.3.0 though there was no actual code change except numbering: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python The bump in version minor number comes from the addition of the administration API which nearly made it in 1.2.17 in the summer but was postponed since. That is backed up by serious improvement in virtio support and logging. As usual that release carries a sigificant amount of fixes and smaller improvements too: Features: - virt-admin and administration API (Erik Skultety, Martin Kletzander) - various improvements in virtio devices support (Ján Tomko, Marc-André Lureau) - log daemon, logging improvements and protocol (Daniel P.

[Libvirt-announce] Happy Birthday Libvirt
by Daniel Veillard 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hello everybody, as the first commits were done on Nov 2 2005, libvirt is more or less ten years old. This has been quite a bit of a journey, but a very successful one in my opinion, the initial goal was to provide a long term stable API for virtualization in the Red Hat ecosystem, and I'm very happy to see the goal has been reached, and we went way beyond that. In the end I think libvirt helped avoid the "balkanization" which is classic in highly competitive domains where you end up with one vertical set of tools per vendor. I also think that libvirt played a key role to keep free and open source software in the main virtualization offerings and even more so for cloud management systems. So it's time to celebrate, there is obviously lot to be done still on libvirt (as the steady stream of patches show !), but I would like to thank everybody who has contributed to the project so far, with a special mention to Dan Berrange who has been leading the effort technically for most of that time. I would also say that I have been very pelased with how the project has been working in that decade, the community is technical but friendly, and it's my hope libvirt, the project as well as the code, will remain as successful for the next decade ! So Thank You everybody, for making this project and community successful ! Enjoy that very special day :-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.21
by Daniel Veillard 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

As pointed our on Tuesday it's time for a new release. I have tagged the release candidate 1 in git and pushed signed tarball and rpms to the usual place at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ Based on my limited testing this works just fine, but that's very limited and doesn't test portability at all, so please give it a try ! I will likely push rc2 on the week-end and the final version on Tuesday or Wednesday, please raise issues if you fine any, thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
